Fuente Madness!

troutbreath · 12-21-2008, 09:08 AM

One of the first cigars I tried when dabbling in this hobby was the Fuente Hemingway Short Story. I know I am not alone in that circumstance. Not sure if that is the reason, but I have always loved a good Cameroon wrapper.

I would pick some SS's up on occasion, but often found myself picking up something different to see what else I liked. I have gotten boxes of Tats, Toranos, Gurhkas, but never got a box of SS's.

This week, I put that to rest.

I hadn't planned on getting that box, but I was in a bit of a Fuente mood. I don't have a top-notch B&M in my backyard, but I know the good ones where I travel for work. This past week -- just my luck -- I got an email from one with the good stuff in stock while I was in town (this NEVER happens, btw). But, I felt the need to stock up!

Hopefully, those SS's will tide me over while I wait for those Opus X to mature in the humi . . .

That looks like a "Sweathearts" of a deal

Completely different state, believe it or not. Just good timing on this trip.

(Mouth watering as I post) Beautiful haul! I had to change the zoom level to drool over, I mean, view the pictures for a few. Those Anejos really got to me.

My first cigar also was a Short Story and still love them today.

Enjoy!

I have been searching for a Cameroon as good as the Hemingway , I don't think it exists . I've tried all different brands and still think the Hemingway is the best . Enjoy them .

That is some nice Fuente p*rn there,,esp. those Opus.

12-21-2008, 10:11 AM

Great haul there! All of them - I loves me an Anejo.

I still have an SS now and again and I agree - The AFH may be the best Cameroon out there.

Now that is a fuente set up! Good take.

I would say you are hooked up bro,time to hibernate and smoke some tasty cigars!

Sauer Grapes · 12-21-2008, 10:37 AM

Nice pick up. Which state was this in?

troutbreath · 12-21-2008, 10:50 AM

Tennessee. Not a bad tax situation there, and there are some really nice smoke shops in Nashville and Knoxville.

You just hit "The Motherlode", Bro! Nice Haul!

GhostRyder · 12-21-2008, 03:33 PM

Epic haul right there. I love me some SSs. I need to try an Opus sometime.

floydpink · 12-21-2008, 05:52 PM

Nice! Those BTL's seem to be appearing a lot this year. More so than the last couple, if my memory is correct.

I have not been in this hobby too long, but I had never seen them in stores. I blinked a couple of times when I saw the first ones, and picked up some samplers. The store where I got these had them packaged with the larger Hemingway vitolas and an Anejo in a sampler pack. I was going to get more before leaving town, but other people had the same idea.

They also have just a few of the maduro Hemingway (Classic size, IIRC), but I had already blown the budget.
